Yep happens both ways......usually shallow human beings or in the relationship for the wrong reason in the first place

Difference being that the guy rarely comes out on top (pun not intended).

Pfizer's profits from Viagra would suggest they don't

Hugh Hefner, Flavio Briatore, Silvio Berlusconi, Bernie Ecclestone...

For every gold digger there is an old rich bloke not thinking with his upstairs.

Surely people over the age of 50 stop thinking with their dick as much though?

Sadly, no.

Apologies

No worries I understood where you were coming from in your reply. There’s plenty out there which matches what you were saying

Pfizer: helping old guys have pfun

It's also shown really good promise as pain relief for women during their period.
But Pfizer won't do clinical trials incase new side effects are found

Absolutely. Erm

Unfortunately due to my high blood pressure, it just gives me a splitting headache. I've powered on through a couple of times, and immediately wished I hadn't.* **

Most blokes over 50 don't have the means to pull young birds, but those with cash/fame can (and do sometimes).

 

[Over The Post]

You need the cash/fame to avoid the predator label.

Ordinary blokes with an average bankroll need not apply.

I'm surprised how many divorces happen to people in their 40s and 50s. I only know a couple of people under 40 that have been married and divorced (some within a year or two, one couple after 10+) but quite a few from mid 40s to 50s. Common themes seem to be staying together while kids are at school or the wife leaving because the husband works too much. I can get the former but I struggle with the latter suddenly being at issue after 20 years.

Stats say the rate per number of marriages is pretty flat from 20s through to 50 then drops off after that. Obviously fewer people get married young now which pushes the average/median divorce age up, and if you are still married at 70 why would you jump ship then?

How they hell do you meet someone in a "year or two" and get married AND divorced.

I cant even get a *******...



ah * this s**t idc.

Unless you outsource to Asia. I've met plenty of middle aged dudes with much younger Asian wives, none with much younger local ones.

A pudgy middle aged Australian male making an average or bit above average wage isn't going to appeal to most Australian females 20 years younger, but financial security and the opportunity to live here is pretty desirable to a lot of foreigners.

That women over 50 have the highest rate of homelessness suggests not

I think ive just contradicted myself. I'll still have no super tho

Kids grown up and moved out? Then life is just the two of them.....I presume they realise they are bored with each other and not in love (and haven't been for ages)

So you're relying on a man/woman/partner to get you through 'retirement'?

Not to mention singles usually get forgotten by the government its always about ******* families..

No, but if you put things together then in a round about way....

You've quit your job and chosen to be unemployed for a while and admit you have sfa super etc.......and admitted that being single at retirement age scares you so......

I put 2 and 2 together and probably came up with 5......but was wondering.

Singles with a job should be able to fend for themselves. Goes the same for familkes, it's mainly only familes on lower incomes who get the real help.

The help goes to those on low incomes

Were they low income earners and government gave them lots of shares or real estate?

I was referring to government payments/handouts
